Using Lemonade Server for local AI tasks and it works very well. Using the AMD XRT PPA the NPU is supported, and there are plenty of community resources online (youtube, discord, github) to help get started doing stuff. It's fast enough and got plenty of memory for running 120B models or doing big vibe coding projects. Token generation between 35-50 tokens per second which isn't screaming fast but is quite usable. 1024x1024 Flux-2-Klein-4B runs in under 2 minutes with a 2048 token prompt. Highly power efficient. My regular ryzen workstation idles at 80W, 10x more than the 8W of this box. Good thermal management, it doesn't make a whole lot of noise in balanced mode even when doing sustained work.


- Can run all my Steam library (most recent game Streetfighter 6, rest older than that), in 4K at 160 FPS. - Able to fit the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Twin Edge OC - Accomodates 10 TB of m.2 SSD (4+4+1+1) in it. - 92nd percentile overall Passmark benchmark. - The Beast's footprint is so small on my desk as you can see in the picture. More processing power per cubic centimeter than any other desktop machine I know.

Windows 11 Pro preinstalled. No bloatware; just a nice clean Windows install. Everything is as described. 2 USB4 ports, one in front, one in back. 1 HDMI. 1 DisplayPort. 4K @ 60 Hz monitors attached and working well. This PC is more quiet than my laptop. You almost can't hear it. I was planning to change power settings in the BIOS to run in Quiet mode, but it is so quiet, I don't think I will do that. I love how small this computer is. I plan to add a 3rd monitor using a USB4 C to DisplayPort cable.


Fast boot time, speedy internals. Runs proxmox with little to no hassle Handles most linux distros with ease. Small form factor and surprisingly modular, I was pleasantly supersized with the amount of onboard M.2 slots.

I got the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H with 2x 8Gb M425R1GB4BB0-CQK RAM and I can multi-task like crazy. 15 browser tabs opened, 2 of them are YouTube. No freezing. Solid.


Good service, quiet, powerful



- able to fit both my 3050 and 3060, from MSI, along with my PNY A2000 in the case - easy to follow instructions with very clear pictures - incredible cooling - easy disassembly and assembly - 4 NVME slots - removable intake duct for the CPU cooler to allow for another PCIe card to be installed


- Size, it is incredibly small - No issues with Intel i5-12400 - BIOS is easy to maneuver


Great little pc. Small, easy to transport. Power of a desktop, convenience of a laptop. Configuration 96GB ram 4TB SSD

The ASUS NUC 13 Pro was purchased as an HTPC for our outdoor theater that projects to a twelve foot diagonal screen. The compact size of this computer made this product an ideal choice. It is configured with a 1TB Western Digital SN770 M.2 2280 and 16GB (2x8gb) of GSkill Ripjaw DDR4 3200 ram. Installation of the M.2 and ram took less than five minutes. Windows 11 installed without any problems. I am especially impressed with the range of the included A211 Intel WI-FI and bluetooth capabilities of this unit. You will need to download and install the drivers that are readily available from the ASUS web site. After these drivers are installed, you will have complete connectivity to your home network. The graphics of this unit are off the charts outstanding with the included Intel Xe Video capabilities that produce razor sharp images; even when projected to a twelve foot screen. The ASUS Pro 13 far exceeded my expectations. For the sound system, I used a 10-year old Sound Blaster USB sound card that configured flawlessly. Also, with unit being configured with two Thunderbolt ports, I am able to connect any USB-C accessories as well as any future Thunderbolt upgrades.
